It will not be easy for any team to beat WI in Super 8, Rovman Powell made a big disclosure about his plan

The performance of the West Indies team has been very good so far in this important tournament and they have confirmed their place in the Super 8. Rovman Powell (Image Source: Getty Images) West Indies team captain Rovman Powell has agreed that playing the World Cup at home is no less than any pressure. Not only this, he also said that the West Indies team is fully prepared for the upcoming matches and it will not be so easy for any team to defeat them at home. Let us tell you, the performance of the West Indies team in this important tournament has been very good so far and they have confirmed their place in the Super 8.

After this, the team will have to play its first match in the Super 8 on June 19 against England at the same venue. Rovman Powell said, ‘I think there is always pressure when you are playing the World Cup at home. But the question always remains how much pressure can you bear as a player personally. When I took over the captaincy 12 to 14 months ago, our ranking was 8th or 9th. It feels really good to see yourself at number three. Behind this is the hard work of all the players who together have performed well for their team. I have never played in the number three ranked West Indies team. I hope that this time something special happens for us and we keep increasing our ranking like this. There are many aggressive players in our team who can leave their mark in this tournament. In the upcoming match, we will perform in the same way as we have done so far. West Indies captain put forth his opinion on the St. Lucia pitch Rovman Powell further said, ‘St Lucia is a place where batsmen like to bat. But bowlers have also bowled very good spells on this ground. Especially the fast bowlers. However, if it is said who gets more profit, then I would say that there is 60% more help for the batsmen here while 40% is for the bowlers.’ The best thing for West Indies is that all their bowlers are in very good form at the moment and they will definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming match against Afghanistan. All the teams will also know very well that it is not so easy to defeat West Indies in their own home. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the last match of the group stage round against West Indies on June 18, Trott said, I think the more exposure the players have got in IPL and different franchises, where there is pressure all the time in this format of the game, it has been good for us and it will help us going forward as well. A lot of our players play in IPL, whenever they come back after playing franchise cricket, I see a little difference or change every time. Which is both good and bad. Jonathan Trott added, It’s just about you know holding on to those good people and you know making sure you pay attention to the things that need attention. So, the guys are ready, we had a really good training session where the guys worked really hard. I know the boys take a lot of pride in representing their country. We will give our 100 per cent tomorrow as well.

“Now I am responsible for the remaining 10 players… Babar Azam made a big allegation, gave a statement on leaving the captaincy

Babar Azam said that the performance of the Pakistan team will be reviewed after returning home. Babar admitted that his team did not play well and fell behind in ‘close matches’. Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The performance of the Pakistan team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 was not very good. Interestingly, the Pakistan team lost in the Super Over against the USA. After which they had to accept defeat by 6 runs from the Indian team. Then Babar’s army won decisive victories against Canada and Ireland. But it was not enough to reach the Super 8 round. Now captain Babar Azam has reacted after the Pakistan team was eliminated from the T20 World Cup. The team will be reviewed once we return home: Babar Azam Pakistan captain Babar Azam is very disappointed after being eliminated before the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2024. Babar Azam said that the performance of the Pakistan team will be reviewed after returning home. Babar admitted that his team did not play well and fell behind in ‘close matches’. Will Babar Azam resign from captaincy? “When I stepped down from captaincy (in 2023), I thought I shouldn’t do this anymore and I announced it myself. Then when they gave me back the captaincy, it was the PCB’s decision, not mine. “When I go back we will discuss what has happened here. And if I have to step down from captaincy I will announce it openly. I will not hide anything. Whatever happens will be out in the open. But for now, I have not thought about it. It is ultimately the PCB’s decision.” ‘Will I play in place of the other 10 players?’: Babar Azam On not being able to reach Super 8, Babar Azam said- “Everyone is sad. We did not play as a team. I told you that we did not lose because of one player. We lost as a team. I am not saying this because of any one person. You are saying that we lost because of the captain. Will I now play in place of the other 10 players?” “There are 11 players in the team and everyone has their own role so they came here to play the World Cup, I think as a team we failed. So we have to stay calm. Also we have to accept that as a team we did not perform well.”

Babar Azam will have to answer these 2 questions as soon as he goes to Pakistan, is there going to be a big uproar?

In this T20 World Cup 2024, Babar Azam has scored only 120 runs in 4 matches, that too at a strike rate of 101. Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team’s T20 World Cup journey has ended. That means Babar Azam’s team could not make it to the Super 8. Pakistan’s dream of reaching the Super 8 was shattered when the USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to rain. But there would have been no situation of depending on someone else’s match if they had not lost their match against USA. It is worth noting that Pakistan faced America in the ongoing tournament and a match which was already won slipped out of their hands. After this, the team was criticized a lot. If they lost the match against India, then their exit from the tournament was almost certain. Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has blamed Babar Azam for the defeat. Babar Azam also flopped in batting In the ODI World Cup last year, Babar Azam scored 320 runs in 9 matches. After which he faced a lot of criticism. In this T20 World Cup 2024, Babar Azam has scored only 120 runs in 4 matches, that too at a strike rate of 101. Mohammad Hafeez believes that Babar Azam is going to be in big trouble and his captaincy can also be taken away. Hafeez feels that only Babar Azam can answer why he did not perform. “I feel bad for Babar Azam. Such a drop in form for a quality player like him is a matter of concern. And only Babar Azam can answer this. Has his captaincy affected his performance?” “I want him to become the highest run-scorer for Pakistan and he has that potential. When it comes to bilateral series, Babar is at the top, but in ICC competition he is way down. So such a big drop in form is a matter of concern and only Babar can answer it or maybe someone else.” Babar Azam has to answer for his form and the defeat of the Pakistan team, which will be very difficult.

Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? A big reason came to the fore

An Indian women all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. Divya Gnanananda (Pic Source X) An Indian women’s all-rounder cricketer named Divya Gnanananda is in the news a lot. She is 28 years old and plays for India’s D team and Karnataka women’s cricket team. Divya is a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s team in the Women’s Premier League. Like most cricketers in India, Divya Gnanananda was inspired to play cricket by watching the great Sachin Tendulkar. Divya made her professional debut at the age of 15. She played with Prasidh Krishna during her school days. Trained by Srinivas Murthy, she has played for Shantha Rangaswamy’s Falcon Sports Club. Divya has been one of the best players for Karnataka in domestic cricket and has been a consistent run-scorer across formats. In the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year, she was the seventh-highest run-scorer with 396 runs in 10 innings at an average of 49.50. She scored a half-century (69 off 116 balls) in the tournament final against Railways. However, his innings went in vain and Railways won by 6 wickets. Now Divya Gnanananda has shared the story of KL Rahul’s style celebration after scoring a half-century in the final of the Senior Women’s ODI Trophy last year. Why did Divya Gnanananda copy KL Rahul’s celebration style? “That (shutting down the noise) celebration was special for me because it came after a difficult time. We were playing against the same team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the final. I felt the pressure to perform well as it was our home ground and my supporters were there. I started off strongly by hitting two boundaries off Meghna Singh and felt confident. But then I made a mistake and got out.” “From that day till recently, I faced a lot of criticism, especially from my close friends and family. They kept reminding me of that match and doubting my abilities against tough teams and quality bowlers. That made me very upset.” “When I finally got the chance to face them and scored 46, I felt a range of emotions. I was so focused on proving myself that I didn’t even realise I was close to scoring 50. When I scored, I felt like throwing my bat down to show that I won’t listen to negative comments anymore. I wanted to prove that I can score runs against tough teams and even score 50 against strong opponents. So that’s how I celebrated.”
